Yeng Constantino admitted that she sometimes feels sad that her husband, Yan Asuncion, had to give up his music since they got married.
Constantino said Asuncion stopped recording and writing new songs because he is devoting most of his time to their business.
“Si Yan po, marami pong sinacrifice bilang artist. Kasi si Yan, isa siya sa main worship leaders ng church namin, ‘yung Victory. Gumagawa sila ng album. Pinadala pa nga sila sa Nashville to be trained para sa pagre-record, pag-produce. Pero nung naging kami, he knew na kailangan niya i-let go ‘yun and suportahan ako sa ginagawa ko and for him to go to a different direction which is business,” she said.
Constantino stressed that she greatly appreciates Asuncion’s sacrifices.
“Of course sa heart niya, he wants to support me, ‘yung family namin. Minsan, siguro hindi ko nao-open masyado sa kanya, pero nalulungkot ako kasi he’s really a good songwriter, napakagaling na musician. Pero right now, hindi niya ginagawa dahil nagfo-focus siya talaga na makakaipon kami so that when the baby comes, talagang sigurado,” she said.
Constantino said it is her hope that Asuncion would someday go back to writing and recording songs.
Constantino, who got her big break when she won ABS-CBN’s “Pinoy Dream Academy” in 2006, met Asuncion in 2013 through a common friend. Last year, they exchanged vows at a garden ceremony in Hacienda Isabella, Tagaytay.
The two marked their first anniversary as a couple in February this year.(MNS)
